Prediction: Barring an injury at the tackle position Sherrod will be inactive all year, and will be a starting tackle next year after Clifton retires. I'll put money on it that he is active for four games or fewer in 2011, and that he is an opening day starter for the 2013 season. Please do not obsess about Sherrod this year. There are so many other things to worry about if you are so inclined.

Sherrod not being active in his 2nd game (after no training camp) means absolutely nothing long term to his career. He's going to be just fine.

I just read Pete Dougherty's "keys to the Game"..."the Cam Newton-Dom Capers matchup will determine whether this will be a close game"...um...my money is on the guy who's been in the league 78 years coming off his most successful year ever. Seriously?? This is a "matchup"?? Dom will school him, shamelessly.

I think you're 100% on here, Brian. I'm not worried about the running back position. That's plenty of depth, especially when we will probably throw 1000 times anyway and could bring in an extra TE for pass pro if needed.
